Chapter 707: Young Master

Over Jiang Dragon's scalp tingled, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "If I don't deliver it, I might not die, but if I do, I'll definitely die without a doubt."

Mo Hua said coldly, "If you don't deliver it, you'll definitely die anyway... Since you're useless, I'll tie you up, stab a few blood holes, and throw you into the Yan Shui River to feed the Water Demons."

"If you go deliver the pills, at least you won't die right now."

Over Jiang Dragon's heart turned cold.

He knew that this small master, with a kind face but evil heart, was not joking with him.

This small master was ruthless and decisive. If he said he would kill him, he would certainly not hold back.

Over Jiang Dragon struggled in his heart for a long time before saying, "Okay, I'll go deliver! But I..."

Mo Hua's expression turned cold. "Don't negotiate with me. If you go deliver the pills, I'll let you live and enter the Dao Prison. If you don't deliver, you'll go to the underworld right now."

Over Jiang Dragon's face turned pale. In the end, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Where do I deliver it?" Mo Hua asked.

Over Jiang Dragon sighed and said, "Downstream of the Yan Shui River, there's a small ferry. Although it's a ferry, it's been abandoned for many years, and human traces are rare..."

"At around Xu hour in the evening, an unmanned small boat will pass by the ferry..."

Mo Hua nodded slightly, but seeing Over Jiang Dragon stop there, he asked, "Then what?"

"Then," Over Jiang Dragon smiled bitterly, "I don't know either..."

Mo Hua's expression was displeased.

Over Jiang Dragon quickly explained, "Every time I board the small boat and let it drift on the river, within an hour, it will take me to the destination."

"But the destination is different each time, and I don't know where..."

Mo Hua frowned. "Will you encounter other cultivators along the way?"

Over Jiang Dragon shook his head. "No."

Mo Hua thought for a moment, then said, "Then you lead the way."

Over Jiang Dragon nodded.

Then everyone split into two groups. Gu An and Gu Quan followed Mo Hua and Over Jiang Dragon to follow the trail and uncover the legendary "Young Master."

The other Gu family cultivators escorted Master Shi and the other black-clothed individuals to the Dao Prison.

Mo Hua only wanted to know who the so-called "Young Master," or "Young Masters," were and didn't necessarily plan to make a move.

If they really had to make a move, having Gu An and Gu Quan, who were in the Second Grade Realm, was enough.

If Gu An and Gu Quan couldn't win the fight, then others going would be meaningless.

Mo Hua picked out a storage bag from Master Shi's storage bag and threw it to Over Jiang Dragon. Inside were some of the evil "Human Pills" that Master Shi had refined earlier.

These Human Pills were used as bait.

If the opponent's cultivation was weak, they could achieve a "human and stolen goods caught together" situation.

If the opponent's cultivation was high and they couldn't win the fight, then these were simply used as bait to see what kind of fish would eat this "fish bait."

Before leaving, Mo Hua gave Master Shi another dangerous look.

The meaning was for him to be honest, keep his mouth shut, and not cut off his own path of survival.

Master Shi felt bitter in his heart.

He, a dignified late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, a Second Grade evil pill master, and a Second Grade evil array master, actually fell to being threatened by a small kid like this.

But he didn't dare show any dissatisfaction.

This little monster with divine sense was really too terrifying. The River God adult might have been killed by him. He fundamentally didn't dare to provoke Mo Hua.

Master Shi looked at his eyes, then his nose, then his heart, being very dutiful...

Then the two teams acted separately.

Over Jiang Dragon led the way in front.

To avoid suspicion, the Spirit Binding Lock on Over Jiang Dragon was removed, his clothes were changed to ordinary fisherman's clothing, and no other restraint methods were applied. Everything looked as usual.

But Mo Hua quietly stuffed a Li Huo Array Plate into his bosom.

"If you're not honest, I'll blow you up!" Mo Hua threatened.

Over Jiang Dragon wanted to cry but had no tears.

Then everyone set off.

Gu An and Gu Quan activated the Shui Yin Jade. Mo Hua then cast the Small Five Elements Concealment Technique. The three of them concealed themselves and followed behind Over Jiang Dragon.

Over Jiang Dragon carried the Array Plate in his bosom and didn't dare have any second thoughts. He honestly led Mo Hua and the other two to a remote and long-abandoned ferry downstream of the Yan Shui River.

The water algae were green, and the river light sparkled.

Over Jiang Dragon sat at the ferry waiting, with Mo Hua and the other two watching from behind.

They waited until the sun set in the west, dusk descended, and night deepened.

Around Xu hour, a lonely abandoned small dock did indeed have a small boat drifting from afar.

The boat was not big, made of wood, and could only accommodate four or five people.

Over Jiang Dragon turned his head and looked, then silently boarded the small boat.

Mo Hua thought for a moment, then said, "We'll go too."

Gu An and Gu Quan nodded.

The three of them concealed themselves and quietly boarded the boat.

The boat shook slightly, the water deepened a bit, and then it swayed, drifting with the river water.

The clear cold moonlight sprinkled on the lake surface, quiet and beautiful.

But the several people on the boat were all a little uneasy, raising their spirits to the highest level and being fully alert.

The several people didn't speak. It was quiet all around, only the sound of the river water flowing.

After drifting for an unknown period of time and to an unknown location, Mo Hua suddenly started, perceived the surroundings, and his face sank:

"Third Grade Realm!"

This small boat had actually brought them to the river domain of the Third Grade Realm.

Mo Hua was an array master and had personally seen the Heavenly Dao Great Array. He was more sensitive to the breath of the realm. At this time, he clearly felt that the surrounding breath had become profound, and his entire body's cultivation spirit power had also become much smaller.

This was because the rules of the Heavenly Dao raised the realm limit.

Here was already the Third Grade Realm where Golden Core cultivators could fully exert their power!

Gu An and Gu Quan perceived a bit slower, but after being reminded by Mo Hua, they also realized something was wrong.

Over Jiang Dragon then panicked, "I... I didn't know anything..."

The small boat was not under his control. Where it drifted was fundamentally not up to him.

Gu An asked in a low voice, "Little Mo Young Master, do you want to go back?"

The Third Grade Realm already exceeded their cultivation range. If something unexpected happened, they might not be able to protect Mo Hua.

Mo Hua frowned slightly.

Going back... was actually fine.

On this small boat, there was a water-based seeking and patrolling array painted. By modifying the array slightly, they could drift back along the original route.

But Mo Hua was a bit unwilling.

The fish had almost bitten the hook. It wouldn't be good to retract the rod at this time.

The most important thing was that although he was in the Third Grade Realm, there was no sense of a life-and-death crisis in Mo Hua's heavenly divination omen.

"Let's look a bit first..."

Mo Hua said.

Gu An and Gu Quan, although uneasy, could only nod...

The small boat continued to drift. After another unknown period of time, Mo Hua actually saw the shore. There was a ferry on the shore, and above the ferry, there were several lights.

Mo Hua was a little surprised.

It looked like there was human habitation here, it didn't seem like a remote place.

"Be careful," Mo Hua warned.

"Yes," Gu An and Gu Quan responded in a deep voice.

The small boat swayed like an ordinary small fishing boat returning late, slowly approaching the shore ferry.

Upon reaching the ferry, someone was already waiting there. Seeing Over Jiang Dragon, they opened their mouth and asked:

"Did you catch any fish?"

Over Jiang Dragon looked back slightly, then said in a rough voice, "Give me spirit stones first, then I'll give you the fish."

That person said unsatisfactorily, "Let me see if the fish are fresh first, then I'll give you the spirit stones?"

Over Jiang Dragon said, "Just caught, definitely fresh."

That person asked again, "How many spirit stones do you want?"

Over Jiang Dragon reported a number.

That person shook his head. "Too high, I have to go ask the master."

Over Jiang Dragon then said, "I'll follow you to avoid you saying behind my back that my fish aren't fresh."

That person then nodded and said, "You follow me."

Over Jiang Dragon hesitated a bit, then jumped from the boat to the shore, followed behind that person, and went straight towards a tavern nearby.

After the two people walked a bit further, Mo Hua and Gu An and Gu Quan went ashore. At the same time, they followed behind from a distance until they reached the front of the tavern.

The tavern was open-air and occupied a large area.

It was surrounded by a bamboo fence, and tables were placed in the yard to provide a resting place for passing cultivators to drink wine.

There were also scattered tables outside the yard, but they were much simpler.

At this time, there were also several people drinking wine outside the yard, including one person wearing coarse cloth clothing and a bamboo hat, drinking strong wine.

Mo Hua's gaze lingered on this person for a while, then moved away. Afterward, he and Gu An and Gu Quan stepped into the tavern yard.

Inside the tavern yard, Over Jiang Dragon was standing respectfully at this time.

Across a table sat four cultivators. Their clothing and appearance looked relatively low-key, but their clothing pouches, rings, and jade ornaments were all very luxurious without exception.

And among them, Mo Hua recognized one person.

It was the "Gold Young Master" with whom he had a previous encounter and who was secretly connected to Over Jiang Dragon.

Over Jiang Dragon placed the storage bag containing the "Human Pills" on the table.

Gold Young Master did not avoid it, directly took out the medicine bottle, sniffed it at the tip of his nose, and nodded, saying:

"The quality is not bad, and the taste is full."

Over Jiang Dragon cupped his hands and said, "It's good that Gold Young Master likes it."

Gold Young Master did not comment. After a moment, he leisurely sighed, saying:

"I told you to sell fish properly and protect you so you could cultivate without worries. How did you attract several flies here?"

As soon as Gold Young Master finished speaking, Mo Hua immediately knew their tracks were exposed and decided, saying:

"Attack!"

Gu An instantly broke concealment and chopped a knife towards Gold Young Master.

Gold Young Master sneered, condensed his fingers into a golden sword light, and killed towards Gu An.

The knife blade and the sword light met, blood energy and sword energy shook, shattering a square table.

But Gu An did not retreat in the slightest. He was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, with a higher cultivation base than Gold Young Master.

Moreover, he had learned the Gu family's double-child chain knife technique. Although it couldn't compare to the Po Jin Sword Art, with his deep cultivation support, it was not necessarily inferior by much...

On the contrary, Gold Young Master's face turned pale from the shock of the knife momentum.

Gu An pressed close and swung another knife.

This knife was faster.

Gold Young Master didn't have time to condense sword energy and could only retreat.

But Gu An's knife still grazed his face, drawing down from top to bottom and cutting off several strands of hair.

Gold Young Master was in a sorry state, his face extremely ugly.

Mo Hua shook his head slightly.

So weak, yet still putting on airs and pretending to be an expert. As a result, in Little An Brother's hands, he didn't even last two moves.

Gold Young Master seemed to realize that he was not Gu An's opponent.

"Go together!"

Several splendidly dressed disciples around him all sneered, then condensed golden sword light. It turned out that most of them were disciples of the Po Jin Gate.

Inside the tavern, some ordinary wine drinkers saw the tension and scattered like birds and beasts long ago.

They might not have the guts to watch this kind of real knife fight.

A big fight was about to break out, and the tavern instantly descended into chaos.

Gu An and Gu Quan, the two brothers, began to join forces, casting the Gu family's double-child chain knife and fighting with Gold Young Master and his group.

For a time, knife light and sword shadows intertwined, and killing energy surged.

Gold Young Master's group consisted of six people in total. Most of them were in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and only one was in the late stage of Foundation Establishment. However, their cultivation was far less profound than Gu An and Gu Quan, and their combat experience was also far inferior to that of these two Dao Court Siyuan.

Therefore, despite being outnumbered, Gu An and Gu Quan did not fall behind.

The situation was momentarily at a stalemate.

Just at this time, a tall Po Jin Gate disciple said to Gold Young Master, "You hold them off for a bit, I'll unleash the sword art for a quick victory!"

Gold Young Master, suppressed by the knife light, gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay!"

Then the several people from the Po Jin Gate staggered their positions and changed their offensive strategy.

The tall Po Jin Gate disciple retreated to the back, using the cover of the other several people, and began to form sword seals with his hands, controlling the golden sword and condensing sword light.

Mo Hua saw at a glance that this was the true inherited art of the Po Jin Gate, the Po Jin Control Sword Art.

However, he didn't know if he forgot in his haste or felt that his sword art was proficient enough and didn't need anything extra. He didn't cast the Golden Body Technique beforehand or use a Golden Body Talisman.

"Too careless..."

Mo Hua shook his head.

Then, taking advantage of this person, he used all his strength, circulated his spirit power to the limit, and accumulated his sword energy to the extreme...

Mo Hua gently pointed his finger, and three fireballs whistled out one after another.

One hit the head, one hit the heart, and one went straight for his Qi Sea.

These three fireballs were very fast and their attack was tricky.

The tall Po Jin Gate disciple was concentrating and fully controlling his sword. He had no defense whatsoever and was hit by the three fireballs in three vital points.

His sword move was interrupted, and his spirit power became disordered.

The Po Jin Gate disciple casting the sword art spat out blood.

Gu An and Gu Quan, who were constantly alert, breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the situation and felt grateful to Mo Hua.

If this person had truly unleashed the Po Jin Control Sword Art of the Po Jin Gate, the situation would have been somewhat unfavorable.

And Gold Young Master and his group's expressions all instantly became solemn.

"There's someone else!"

Both sides briefly stopped fighting. Gold Young Master stood firm, his gaze sweeping over Gu An and Gu Quan, and he said coldly:

"Who are you rats? Hiding your heads and showing your tails!"...

Mo Hua thought for a moment, then slowly revealed himself.

Gold Young Master's expression froze.

Such small cultivators...

He wrinkled his brow and asked, "Little ghost, what is your identity? I should... not have seen you before?"

Mo Hua did not answer.

Beside Gold Young Master, someone said, "Those two brothers' cultivation method is the Gu family's chain knife. This little ghost must be from the Gu family..."

"Gu family..."

Gold Young Master's gaze was sinister.

Mo Hua didn't comment. He pondered for a moment, then began to speak righteously, questioning Gold Young Master:

"I don't care if your surname is Jin or Yin, you have already violated the Dao Law..."

"Trafficking cultivators, killing lives, violating prohibitions, secretly refining Human Pills... Each of these is a serious crime!"

"Surrender yourself early to avoid suffering."

Gold Young Master was angry, then sneered, saying:

"You little brat with milk still on his breath, what do you know? The Dao Law is for the people below to use. It doesn't apply to me."

"Surrender yourself? I'm afraid that if I truly surrender myself, the small temple of the Dao Court Siyuan wouldn't be able to hold me."

Mo Hua said with righteous indignation, "Then you admit it? Admit that you traffic cultivators, harm lives, and secretly refine Human Pills?"

Gold Young Master didn't speak.

Mo Hua's face showed sarcasm, "You dare to do it but don't dare to admit it. You're just a coward after all."

"I thought you were a prominent evil person. Turns out you're just a coward who hides his head and shows his tail, letting others do the dirty work for you."

"Didn't you have a big mouth just now? Why are you silent now? You still think the Dao Court Siyuan can't hold you? Your face is bigger than your butt?"

Gold Young Master was instantly consumed by anger. He knew in his heart! He knew this little ghost was provoking him.

But precisely because the one provoking him was a little ghost with milk still on his breath, he felt a suffocating anger in his throat that he couldn't swallow.

Sometimes, when you're out and about, face is dignity.

If someone ridicules you, you chop them up and throw them into the river to feed the Water Demons. From then on, no one dares to despise you.

But if on the contrary, someone mocks you, and you remain silent, showing no expression, everyone will despise you.

If even this stinky brat with milk still on his breath dares to publicly ridicule and call him a "coward" and a "wimp," then what will happen afterward?

Anyone will step on your head!

The Young Masters will also feel that you are disgracing their identity and are no longer worthy of doing things for them from now on.

Gold Young Master's gaze was ferocious, and he grinned.

"Good, good. You want me to admit it, don't you? I'll tell you today, you are right!"

"But so what?"

"I do traffic cultivators, I do kill some lowlifes, I do refine Human Pills, but so what?"

"Who can control me?!"

"Is it you, this little one? Or is it the Dao Court Siyuan of the aristocratic families who are fed fat like dogs by the world?"

"Even if I admit it, what can you do to me?"

"Do you think that I, like those lowly cultivators who are governed by the Dao Law, are the same 'people'?"

"Killing a few humble lowlifes and refining a few furnaces of pills, what's the big deal?"

Gold Young Master's gaze was distorted, and his expression was somewhat ugly.

Mo Hua wrinkled his brow slightly, and his expression gradually turned icy cold.

"Little An Brother, Little Quan Brother, he personally admitted it. Cripple his limbs and take him back to the Dao Court Siyuan."

Gu An and Gu Quan were also all filled with anger.

Gold Young Master was stunned for a moment, not angry but laughing, "You all actually believe that?"

Gu An and Gu Quan each held a knife, their blood energy boiling, wanting to use all their strength to take down Gold Young Master and his group.

But as soon as they took a step, a crystal-clear, water-shaped sword energy, condensed like substance, suddenly appeared and chopped in front of them.

This sword was condensed with spirit power, and its power was terrifying.

With just a gentle sword light, it cut a several-feet wide gully in the ground.

Gu An and Gu Quan were shocked by this sword intent, and their faces turned pale.

Golden Core sword cultivator?!

Behind Gold Young Master, a person slowly walked out. He wore a water-blue Daoist robe, had a pale face, and a deep breath.

Gu An and Gu Quan had actually not noticed him at all before.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Gu An and Gu Quan's gazes were serious. They urged their knife momentum to the extreme and silently protected Mo Hua behind them.

This water-blue Daoist robe sword cultivator only smiled lightly with disdain, and said with an overlooking attitude:

"Kneel down, kowtow three times, and swear not to reveal what you saw and heard today. Then I'll let you leave."

Gu An and Gu Quan's expressions turned angry, but they didn't say anything yet.

Then Gold Young Master said fiercely, "No, kill them! They must die, especially that little ghost who speaks without thinking!"

The water-blue Daoist robe sword cultivator frowned slightly.

Gu An and Gu Quan also felt a chill in their hearts.

They didn't care about themselves, but Little Mo Young Master couldn't have any mishaps.

Gu An said in a deep voice, "We are from the Gu family!"

"Gu family?" Gold Young Master sneered. "The Gu family also deserves to die!"

The blue-robed sword cultivator's gaze flickered, and he said in a low voice, "It's better not to cause extra trouble..."

"Kill!" Gold Young Master said with wantonness in his eyes. "All consequences will be borne by me!"

In the blue-robed sword cultivator's gaze, a trace of unhappiness arose, but he didn't disregard Gold Young Master's meaning.

A trace of condensed-to-the-extreme, entity-like Golden Core water system spirit power gathered at his fingertips, condensing into a sharp wisp of sword energy.

The blue-robed sword cultivator looked at Mo Hua and said faintly:

"Golden Core sword energy, it will only take an instant to kill you, it won't be too painful."

Then, before Gu An and Gu Quan could react, the blue-robed sword cultivator pointed a finger, and the sword energy broke through the air.

The water-blue sword energy was like a true spirit sword, drawing out a dazzling water light, going straight for Mo Hua's heart.

Gu An and Gu Quan were greatly shocked and turned pale.

Mo Hua's expression was calm, and his gaze was indifferent.

Just as the sword light approached within ten feet of Mo Hua's body, a path of colorful splendid light suddenly rose. Wind blades were born in pairs, forming a barrier, like a peacock opening its screen feathers, exquisite and magnificent, protecting Mo Hua in the middle.

The sword light could not break through the wind-blade-woven feathers and dissipated on its own.

The blue-robed sword cultivator's pupils shrank, and he involuntarily looked outside the yard.

Outside the tavern, a cultivator wearing coarse clothing and a bamboo hat slowly stood up.

He was tall and slender, with a handsome appearance, a cold and stern expression, and a hint of arrogance. He looked at the blue-robed sword cultivator with disdain.

"Evil creature, who do you want to kill?"
